INNOVATIVE SAIKEI: featuring Tropical & True Indoor Bonsai

摘要

S'aikei, or tray landscapes, evolved after the devastation of World War II when survivors of an impoverished nation sought to create some natural beauty to brighten their lives. Curved roof clay tiles, rocks, and young trees became the first saikei. In the example above, they are the result of detailed planning with all components carefully selected and assembled. Tray landscapes are usually intended to be maintained and improved as bonsai for many years.
